You get it all buttoned up? Were the issues on the vehicle side or the trailer side?

Sorry to respond so late,but was in the sticks for two weeks. I did manage to get signals and brake lights and brakes to work but they are very dim,i spliced directly into the running light wire cause there was no juice flowing through the factory plug. I managed to tow it to my destination, about 3 hours down i suppose what in the US are interstates,I had a chase vehicle behind me the whole way. I towed in overdrive with speed control on most of the way,I made sure the trans was not confused and it worked out fine. I believe if I tow this again I will try the relay method Buck suggested,I hooked to my buddys new landscape trailer and the signals were very bright so the issue is with the trailer.Oh and I rewired the brakes cause there musta been 14 conections between the 2 tires.Thanks everyone for your help! Now to do something with those silly mono leafs, any Ideas?
